NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a. Company:
Arotech Corporation (“Arotech”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) provide defense and security products for the military, law enforcement, emergency services and homeland security markets, including multimedia interactive simulators/trainers, and lithium batteries and chargers. Arotech operates primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries FAAC Incorporated, a Michigan corporation located in Ann Arbor, Michigan (Training and Simulation Division) with a location in Orlando, Florida; Epsilor-Electric Fuel Ltd. (“Epsilor-EFL”), an Israeli corporation located in Beit Shemesh, Israel (between Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv) and in Dimona, Israel (in Israel’s Negev desert area) (Power Systems Division); UEC Electronics, LLC (“UEC”), a South Carolina limited liability company located in Hanahan, South Carolina (Power Systems Division).
b. Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Arotech Corporation and all wholly-owned, majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries on the same basis as its annual audited financial statements. The Company condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in its annual audited financial statements, which it prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and include the accounts of Arotech Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Company’s quarterly financial statements should be read in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at September 30, 2019, its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and its statement of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
c. Reclassification:
From time to time the Company may reclassify amounts from prior periods to conform to the current year’s presentation.
d. Commitments and contingencies:
The Company is involved in litigation from time to time in the regular course of its business. There are no material legal proceedings pending or known by the Company to be contemplated to which the Company is a party or to which any of its property is subject. In addition, the Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable. These contingencies are subject to uncertainties, and, as a result, the Company is unable to estimate the amount or range of loss, if any, in excess of amounts accrued. The Company does not believe that these contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income or statements of cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
e. Goodwill and other long-lived assets:
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting units with the carrying value. The Training and Simulation and the Power Systems reporting units have goodwill.
As of its last annual impairment test at October 1, 2018, the Company determined that the goodwill for both reporting units was not impaired.
Consistent with previous interim reporting periods, the Company monitors qualitative and quantitative factors, including internal projections, periodic forecasts, and actual results of the reporting unit. Based upon this interim review, the Company does not believe that goodwill or its indefinite-lived intangible assets related to either reporting unit is impaired.
f. Government Termination for Convenience:
On October 3, 2018, the Company’s U.S. Power Systems Division subsidiary was informed by its customer, SAIC, that the United States Marine Corps (“USMC”) had discontinued its efforts to upgrade the Assault Amphibious Vehicle (“AAV”) fleet that was undergoing survivability and electrical upgrades under a prime contract with Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”). As a result
of this termination for the USMC’s convenience, the Company presented its costs related to this program for reimbursement by SAIC and the USMC in December 2018. The amounts of and time frame for resolution have not yet been determined.
In July 2019, we received a $2.0 million partial payment towards the AAV program costs.
g. New accounting pronouncements:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard, effective January 1, 2019, requires virtually all leases to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method, under which it elected the package of practical expedients and transition provisions allowing it to bring its existing operating leases onto the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet without adjusting comparative periods.
The Company has operating leases for facilities and equipment, which are recorded as assets and liabilities for those leases with terms greater than 12 months. Lease-related assets, or right-of-use assets (“ROU”), are recognized at the lease commencement date at amounts equal to the respective lease liabilities, adjusted for prepaid lease payments, initial direct costs, and lease incentives received. Lease-related liabilities are recognized at the present value of the remaining contractual fixed lease payments, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while variable lease payments are expensed as incurred.
Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded approximately $6.3 million of ROU assets and $6.5 million of current and long term lease obligations in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policy Update” for additional information.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill and eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and requires businesses to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted this standard and it did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). The accounting standard allows for the optional reclassification of stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings that arise due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The amount of the reclassification would reflect the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances, if any, at the date of enactment of the Tax Act and other income tax effects of the Tax Act on items remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of 2019, as required by the new standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the SEC issued Release No. 33-10532 that amends and clarifies certain financial reporting requirements. The principal change to the Company’s financial reporting is the inclusion of the annual disclosure requirement of changes in stockholders’ equity in Rule 3-04 of Regulation S-X to interim periods.
NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UPDATE
The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies as a result of adopting Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 are discussed below:
Leases:
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight line basis over the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU asset, current portion of lease obligations and long term portion of lease obligations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2019, the Company does not have any non-cancelable operating lease commitments that have not yet commenced.
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. If a lease does not implicitly state a rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance, any initial direct costs incurred and excludes any lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably assured that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
The Company has operating leases for its production and office facilities and certain office equipment. These leases have remaining lease terms of 2 years to 15 years, some of which include options to extend for up to 5 years. These options have been included in the Company’s calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability based upon the Company’s assessment of whether the option will be exercised.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. The Company’s sublease portfolio consists of an operating lease within one of its facilities, resulting in approximately $26,000 and $78,000 of sublease income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

NOTE 3: REVENUES
Revenue recognition:
The Company recognized revenues from (i) the sale and customization of interactive training systems (Training and Simulation Division); (ii) maintenance services in connection with such systems (Training and Simulation Division); (iii) the sale of batteries, chargers and adapters, and custom power solutions (Power Systems Division); and (iv) the sale of lifejacket lights (Power Systems Division).
The Company determines its revenue recognition through the following steps:
| |
• | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer |
| |
• | Identification of the performance obligations within the contract |
| |
• | Determination of the transaction price |
| |
• | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract |
| |
• | Recognition of revenue when, or as the performance obligation has been satisfied |
Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. A contracts transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. In assessing the recognition of revenue, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one contract and if the combined or single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations which could change the amount of revenue and profit (loss) recorded in a period. The majority of the Company’s contracts with customers are accounted for as one performance obligation, as the majority of tasks and services is part of a single project or capability. As these contracts are typically a customized customer-specific solution, the Company uses the expected cost plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contracts transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract.
The Company also offers maintenance and support agreements (“warranties”) for many of its products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending upon the product sold and country in which the product was sold. The warranty revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance and support services. The standalone selling price is determined based on the price charged when sold separately or upon renewal.
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 91% and 92% of its revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 91% and 92% of its revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue in the Training and Simulation Division and the U.S. Power Systems Division is recognized over time. Typically, revenue is recognized over time using an input measure (e.g., costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion) to measure progress. Contract costs include labor, material, and overhead.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $67.6 million of expected future revenue relating to performance obligations that are currently under contract, which it also refers to as total backlog. The Company expects to recognize approximately 39.6% of its backlog as revenue in 2019, and the remaining 60.4% thereafter.
Contract Estimates. Accounting for long-term contracts and programs involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, the Company estimates the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract.
Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that can exceed a year. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability; the complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the performance of subcontractors; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer.
As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of its contracts, the Company reviews and updates its contract-related estimates quarterly. The Company recognizes adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, the Company recognizes the total loss in the quarter in which it is identified.
The aggregate impact of adjustments in contract estimates to net income (loss) is presented below:

Each of these contract types presents advantages and disadvantages. Typically, the Company assumes more risk with fixed-price contracts. However, these types of contracts offer additional profits when the Company completes the work for less than originally estimated. Cost-reimbursement contracts generally subject the Company to lower risk. Accordingly, the associated base fees are usually lower than fees earned on fixed-price contracts. Under time and materials contracts, the Company’s profit may fluctuate if actual labor-hour costs vary significantly from the negotiated rates.

Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of the Company’s contract amounts is billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic
intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Billing sometimes occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company sometimes receives advances or deposits from its customers, particularly on its international contracts, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities also include deferred warranty revenues from our Training and Simulation Division. These assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The $6.7 million increase in the Company’s net contract assets (liabilities) from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 was due to the timing of milestone payments on certain U.S. Government and commercial contracts.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in revenue related to the Company’s contract liabilities.
The Company did not record any provisions for impairment of its contract assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
Trade Receivables
Trade receivables include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts are recorded at net estimated realizable value. The value of the Company’s trade receivables when appropriate includes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company calculates an allowance based on its history of write-offs, the assessment of customer creditworthiness, and the age of the outstanding receivables.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s trade receivables recorded in the consolidated balance sheets were $17.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively. The Company had an immaterial provision for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company believes its exposure to concentrations of credit risk is limited due to the nature of its operations, where a significant number of its contracts are typically a customized customer specific solution.
NOTE 4: INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand relative to current and historical selling prices and historical and projected sales volume and based on these evaluations, provisions are made in each period to write down inventory to its net realizable value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 the Company wrote off approximately $104,246 and $558,000, respectively, of obsolete inventory, which has been included in the cost of revenues.
Inventories by component are as follows:

NOTE 5: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company and its subsidiaries operate in two business segments. The two segments are also treated by the Company as reporting units for goodwill impairment evaluation purposes. The goodwill amounts associated with the Training and Simulation Division and the Power Systems Division were determined and valued when the specific businesses were purchased. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in two continuing business segments and follow the requirements of ASC 280-10.
The Company’s reportable segments have been determined in accordance with the Company’s internal management structure, which is organized based on operating activities. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those used by the Company in the preparation of its annual financial statements. The Company evaluates performance based on two primary factors, one of which is the segment’s operating income and the other of which is the segment’s contribution to the Company’s future strategic growth.
The following is information about reported segment revenues, income (losses) from operations, and total assets as of September 30, 2019 and 2018:

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The carrying values of short term assets and liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted collateral deposits, trade receivables, contract assets, inventories, prepaid and other assets, trade payables, accrued expenses, deferred revenues and other liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximate fair value because of
the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long term debt approximate the estimated fair values at September 30, 2019, based upon the Company’s ability to acquire similar debt at similar maturities.
NOTE 7: BANK FINANCING
The Company maintains credit facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”), whereby Chase provides (i) a $15,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver”), (ii) a $6,000,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolver B”), (iii) a $10,000,000 Term Loan (“Term Loan A”), (iv) a $1,730,895 Mortgage Loan (“Term Loan B”), (v) a $1,358,000 Mortgage Loan (“Term Loan C”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities.”
On August, 14 2019, the Company entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”), effective August 14, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Tenth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of indebtedness and Liens which allowed Epsilor-EFL to secure financing for its operations up to $6,000,000 million using its assets as security.
In August 2019, Epsilor-EFL entered into an agreement with Bank Leumi Le-Israel (“Leumi”), whereby Leumi provided a loan of NIS 6,000,000 ($1,697,313) (the “Loan”), as well as access to a line of credit of NIS 4,000,000 (together with the Loan, the “Epsilor Credit Facility”). The Loan will be repaid in 60 monthly payments starting in October 2019. The Loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.69%. The effective interest rate for the Loan at September 30, 2019 was 3.44%. As of September 30 2019, the line of credit was not used. The Epsilor Credit Facility is secured by Epsilor-EFL’s assets.
On July 24, 2019, we entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), effective June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Ninth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of eligible unbilled accounts associated with certain long term contracts and borrowing base.
On April 22, 2019, the Company entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), effective March 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios for specific quarters in 2019, and the Company has been given a second revolving line (“Revolver B”) in the amount of $6,000,000, reducing to $3,000,000 at the end of 2019 and due to be paid in full by February 28, 2020.
The Credit Facilities maintain certain reporting requirements, conditions precedent, affirmative covenants and financial covenants. The Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. The Eighth Amendment to the credit facilities adjusted the financial covenant ratios for the Company’s reporting periods during fiscal year 2019. The amended Maximum Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.75 to 1.00 for the period ended March 31, 2019, 5.50 to 1.00 for the period ended June 30, 2019, 6.25 to 1.00 for the period ended September 30, 2019, 4.00 to 1.00 for the period ended December 31, 2019 and 3.00 to 1.00 for periods ending after December 31, 2019. The amended Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 1.20 to 1.00 for the period ended March 31, 2019, 1.00 to 1.00 for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and 1.20 to 1.00 for the periods ending after September 30, 2019. The Company was in compliance with its covenants at September 30, 2019.
The Credit Facilities are secured by the Company’s assets and the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

NOTE 8: PENDING ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY
On September 22, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Argonaut Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Argonaut Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by Parent. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (a “Share”) other than Cancelled Shares as defined in the Merger Agreement and Dissenting Shares as defined in the Merger Agreement, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, and each restricted stock unit award share including unvested awards and each restricted stock award share including unvested awards, shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $3.00 in cash, net of applicable tax withholding, without interest, payable to the holder thereof in the manner provided in the Merger Agreement.
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, if permitted by law, of certain customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, (i) the absence of any law or order whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent enacted, entered, promulgated, or enforced by any governmental entity which prohibits, restrains, or enjoins the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) obtaining the affirmative vote, in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to any financing condition.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operation of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries between signing and closing, governmental filings and approvals, public disclosures and similar matters.
The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by the Company or Parent under certain circumstances, and in certain specified circumstances upon termination of the Merger Agreement one party may be required to pay the other a termination fee.
Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, under specified circumstances, including (i) by the Company to accept a Superior Proposal, (ii) by Parent upon an Adverse Company Board Recommendation Change, or (iii) in certain other specified circumstances where the Company enters into an alternative acquisition within twelve (12) months after termination of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay Parent a fee of $2,400,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”). In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated by Parent (i) in response to an Adverse Company Board Recommendation Change or (ii) because the Company commits a Willful Breach, as defined in the Merger Agreement, of any of its obligations under the non-solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will be required to pay Parent an amount equal to that required to reimburse Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, up to $800,000.
The Merger Agreement also provides that Parent may be required to pay the Company a fee of $3,200,000 if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement because (i) Parent or Merger Sub has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements under the Merger Agreement such that a closing condition is not satisfied (subject to notice and cure and other customary exceptions) or (ii) Parent fails to close the Merger when required to do so under the Merger Agreement.
The Company expects to incur significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Merger. Additional information about the Merger Agreement is set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 23, 2019.
NOTE 9: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 24, 2019, Shiva Stein, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company and the members of the board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, styled Stein v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-02016-RGA (the “Stein Action”). Stein alleges that the Company and the board violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by failing to disclose material information in connection with financial projections and inputs relied upon by B. Riley in its analyses, including (i) certain non-GAAP financial information and a reconciliation to GAAP, (ii) certain inputs or analyses relating to B. Riley’s Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, and (iii) the premiums paid in the transactions observed in B. Riley’s Premiums Paid Analysis. Stein seeks to, among other things, enjoin the consummation of the merger until such disclosures are made, rescind, to the extent already implemented, the merger agreement, or obtain damages.
On October 28, 2019, Eric Sabatini filed a purported stockholder class action against the Company and the members of the board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, styled Sabatini v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-02028-RGA (the “Sabatini Action”). On October 30, 2019, Jacqueline D. Creeks, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, the members of the board, Dean M. Krutty, and Kelli L. Kellar in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, styled Creeks v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-10044 (the “Creeks Action”). Sabatini and Creeks assert similar allegations to those in the Stein Action and seek similar relief.
On October 31, 2019, David Hill filed a purported stockholder class action against the Company and the members of the board in the Circuit Court for Washtenaw County in the State of Michigan, styled Hill v. Arotech, Inc., Case No 19-001185-CB (the “Hill Action”). Hill alleges that the members of the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose purportedly material information, including the information sought in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, and Creeks Action, and information relating to the sales process, such as details regarding certain confidentiality agreements, the reason for forming the special committee, and the scope of the special committee’s authority. Hill also alleges that the members of the board breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in a purportedly deficient sales process resulting in a purportedly unfair price. Hill further alleges that the members of the board labored under a conflict of interest as a result of the accelerated vesting of certain equity. Finally, Hill claims that the Company aided and abetted those purported breaches. Hill seeks similar relief to the relief sought in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, and Creeks Action.
The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty; however, we and our board believe that the allegations and claims asserted in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, Creeks Action, and Hill Action are without merit. A negative outcome in the actions could adversely affect us if it results in preliminary or permanent injunctive relief. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we may not necessarily announce such additional filings.

Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $23.6 million compared to $23.8 million in the comparable period in 2018, a decrease of $271,000 or 1.1%, primarily due to lower revenues in our Power Systems Division. In the third quarter of 2019, revenues were $14.9 million for the Training and Simulation Division as compared to $14.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $228,000, or 1.6% driven by its larger military contracts. Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 in the Power Systems Division decreased by $499,000, or 5.4%, from $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2018 to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, due primarily to the termination of our Amphibious Assault Vehicle program (“AAV”) by our customer Science Applications International Corporation (“SAIC”) as a result of the United States Marine Corps (“Marines”) termination for convenience with SAIC on October 3, 2018, partially offset by higher sales of certain batteries manufactured in our Israeli Operations.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues totaled $15.6 million during the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $900,000, or 5.6%, primarily due to lower sales in our Power System Division. Cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2019 was $8.5 million for the Training and Simulation Division as compared to $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $200,000, or 2.4% primarily due to smaller inventory write-offs in 2019; and $7.1 million for the Power Systems Division in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $700,000, or 9.1%, primarily due to lower revenues in the third quarter of 2019 related to the termination of the AAV contract in the fourth quarter of 2018, lower program overruns, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with product mix in our Israeli operations.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses totaled $1.1 million during the third quarter of 2019 as compared to $754,000 for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $356,000, or 47.3%, relating to timing of research and development projects.
Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $1.9 million, compared to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $33,000, or 1.8%, due primarily to increased marketing efforts in our Training and Simulation Division.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $4.2 million, compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $1.0 million, or 31.0%, primarily due to costs associated with the potential merger and continued implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”).
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets totaled $281,000 in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $392,000 in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $111,000, or 28.4%, due primarily to run-off of intangibles related to the U.S. Power System subsidiary acquisition.

This amount includes the required adjustment of taxes due to the deduction of goodwill “naked” credits for U.S. federal taxes, which totaled $140,000 and $145,000 in non-cash expenses in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Net income. Due to the factors cited above, we went from income of $741,000 in the third quarter of 2018 to a net loss of $63,000 in the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $804,000.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $10.6 million for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $9.4 million for the first nine months of 2018, an increase of $1.2 million, due to costs associated with the potential merger and continued implementation of the ERP system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August, 14 2019, we entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”), effective August 14, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Tenth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of indebtedness and liens which allowed Epsilor-EFL to secure financing for its operations up to $6,000,000 million using its assets as security.
In August 2019, Epsilor-EFL entered into an agreement with Bank Leumi Le-Israel (“Leumi”), whereby Leumi provided a loan of NIS 6,000,000 ($1,697,313) (the “Loan”), as well as access to a line of credit of NIS 4,000,000 (together with the Loan, the “Epsilor Credit Facility”). The Loan will be repaid in 60 monthly payments starting in October 2019. The Loan bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.69%. The effective interest rate for the Loan at September 30, 2019 was 3.44%.
On July 24, 2019, we entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Ninth Amendment”), effective June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Ninth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of eligible unbilled accounts associated with certain long term contracts and borrowing base.
On April 22, 2019, we entered into a new amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), effective March 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, the parties have incorporated, among other changes, amended definitions of fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios for specific quarters in 2019, and we have been given a second revolving line (“Revolver B”) in the amount of $6,000,000, reducing to $3,000,000 at the end of 2019 and due to be paid in full by February 28, 2020.
We maintain credit facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”), whereby Chase provides (i) a $15,000,000 revolving line (“Revolver”) and a second revolving line (“Revolver B”) in the amount of $6,000,000, reducing to $3,000,000 at the end of 2019 and due to be paid in full by February 28, 2020, (ii) a $10,000,000 Term Loan (“Term Loan A”), (iii) a $1,730,895 Mortgage Loan (“Term Loan B”), and (iv) a $1,358,000 Mortgage Loan (“Term Loan C”); collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities.” The Credit Facilities are secured by our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2019, we had $5.2 million in cash and $158,000 in restricted collateral deposits, as compared to December 31, 2018, when we had $4.2 million in cash and $223,000 in restricted collateral deposits. We also had $10.7 million in available, unused bank lines of credit with our main bank as of September 30, 2019, under our Credit Facilities. In addition, we also had NIS 4.0 million (approximately $1.1 million) in available, unused bank credit as of September 30, 2019 under the Epsilor Credit Facility.
The maturity of the Revolver is March 11, 2021. The Revolver maintains an interest rate on a scale ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% up to LIBOR plus 3.00%. The effective interest rate for the Revolver at September 30, 2019 was 5.75%.
The maturity of the Revolver B is February 28, 2020. The Revolver B maintains an interest rate on a scale ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% up to LIBOR plus 3.50%. The effective interest rate for the Revolver B at September 30, 2019 was 5.50%.
The maturity of Term Loan A is March 11, 2021. This Term Loan maintains an interest rate on a scale ranging from LIBOR plus 2.0% up to LIBOR plus 3.25%. The repayment of this Term Loan consists of 60 consecutive monthly payments of principal plus accrued interest based on annual principal reductions of 10% during the first year, 20% during the second through fourth years, and 30% during the fifth year. The effective interest rate for this Term Loan at September 30, 2019 was 6.00%.
We have two Mortgage Loans (Term Loans B and C). The maturities of the Mortgage Loans are June 1, 2024 and maintain an interest rate on a scale identical to the Term Loan. The monthly payments on the Mortgage Loans are $12,872 in principal plus accrued interest, with balloon payments due at the maturity date. The effective interest rate for the Mortgage Loans at September 30, 2019 was 6.00%.
The Credit Facilities maintain certain reporting requirements, conditions precedent, affirmative covenants and financial covenants. We are required to maintain certain financial covenants. The Eighth Amendment to the credit facilities adjusted the financial covenant ratios for the Company’s reporting periods during fiscal year 2019. The amended Maximum Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.75 to 1.00 for the period ended March 31, 2019, 5.50 to 1.00 for the period ended June 30, 2019, 6.25 to 1.00 for the period ended September 30, 2019, 4.00 to 1.00 for the period ended December 31, 2019 and 3.00 to 1.00 for periods ending after December 31, 2019. The amended Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is 1.20 to 1.00 for the period ended March 31, 2019, 1.00 to 1.00 for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and 1.20 to 1.00 for the periods ending after September 30, 2019. We were in compliance with our covenants at September 30, 2019.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $(595,000). Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.4 million, representing a net change year over year of $4.0 million. The decrease in cash provided by operations is primarily attributable to the $6.7 million higher contract asset balance related to long term contracts that do not allow for milestone payments and a change from net income of $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to a net loss of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily related to lower revenues associated with the termination of the AAV program on October 2, 2018. This decrease in cash was partially offset by the receipt of $2.0 partial payment toward AAV program costs.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $3.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.7 million, representing a year over year change of $1.8 million. This increase was primarily related to capital investments and continued implementation of the ERP system.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $5.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $(2.1) million, representing a year over year change of $7.1 million. This was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.8 million of borrowings under our Credit Facilities, and a $1.7 million increase related to the Epsilor-EFL Credit Facility. These increases were primarily attributable to funding the $6.7 million higher contract asset balance related to long term contracts that do not allow for milestone payments.
Subject to all of the reservations regarding “forward-looking statements” set forth above, we believe that our present cash position, anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under our lines of credit should be sufficient to satisfy our current estimated cash requirements through the next twelve months. In this connection, we note that from time to time our working capital needs are partially dependent on our and/or our subsidiaries’ lines of credit.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There have been no material changes to our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2018.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” as disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of the following:
On October 24, 2019, Shiva Stein, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company and the members of the board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, styled Stein v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-02016-RGA (the “Stein Action”). Stein alleges that the Company and the board violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) by failing to disclose material information in connection with financial projections and inputs relied upon by B. Riley in its analyses, including (i) certain non-GAAP financial information and a reconciliation to GAAP, (ii) certain inputs or analyses relating to B. Riley’s Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, and (iii) the premiums paid in the transactions observed in B. Riley’s Premiums Paid Analysis. Stein seeks to, among other things, enjoin the consummation of the merger until such disclosures are made, rescind, to the extent already implemented, the merger agreement, or obtain damages.
On October 28, 2019, Eric Sabatini filed a purported stockholder class action against the Company and the members of the board in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, styled Sabatini v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-02028-RGA (the “Sabatini Action”). On October 30, 2019, Jacqueline D. Creeks, a purported stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint against the Company, the members of the board, Dean M. Krutty, and Kelli L. Kellar in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, styled Creeks v. Arotech Corporation, C.A. No. 1:19-cv-10044 (the “Creeks Action”). Sabatini and Creeks assert similar allegations to those in the Stein Action and seek similar relief.
On October 31, 2019, David Hill filed a purported stockholder class action against the Company and the members of the board in the Circuit Court for Washtenaw County in the State of Michigan, styled Hill v. Arotech, Inc., Case No 19-001185-CB (the “Hill Action”). Hill alleges that the members of the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose purportedly material information, including the information sought in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, and Creeks Action, and information relating to the sales process, such as details regarding certain confidentiality agreements, the reason for forming the special committee, and the scope of the special committee’s authority. Hill also alleges that the members of the board breached their fiduciary duties by engaging in a purportedly deficient sales process resulting in a purportedly unfair price. Hill further alleges that the members of the board labored under a conflict of interest as a result of the accelerated vesting of certain equity. Finally, Hill claims that the Company aided and abetted those purported breaches. Hill seeks similar relief to the relief sought in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, and Creeks Action.
The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted with certainty; however, we and our board believe that the allegations and claims asserted in the Stein Action, Sabatini Action, Creeks Action, and Hill Action are without merit. A negative outcome in the actions could adversely affect us if it results in preliminary or permanent injunctive relief. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, we may not necessarily announce such additional filings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A. - “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity and that could cause our operating results to vary significantly from period to period. As of September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, with the exception of the following:
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On September 22, 2019 we entered into the Merger Agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Greenbriar Equity Group, L.P. Completion of the proposed Merger is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the receipt of approvals from our stockholders. There is no assurance that all of the various conditions will be satisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe, or at all. Our entry into the Merger Agreement, its obligations thereunder, and the conditions to completion of the acquisition give rise to inherit risks and uncertainties, including:
| |
• | the impairment of our ability to attract, retain, and motivate our employees, including key personnel; |
| |
• | the diversion of significant management time and resources towards the completion of the proposed Merger; |
| |
• | difficulties maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers, and other business partners; |
| |
• | delays or deferments of certain business decisions by our customers, suppliers, and other business partners; |
| |
• | the inability to pursue alternative business opportunities or make appropriate changes to our business because the Merger Agreement requires us to conduct our business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and not engage in certain kinds of transactions prior to the completion of the proposed Merger. The restrictions may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and taking other actions with respect to our business that we may consider advantageous and result in our inability to respond effectively to competitive pressures and industry developments, and may otherwise harm our business and operations; |
| |
• | the Merger may not be consummated within the expected time period or at all because of a number of factors, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; or the failure to satisfy closing conditions to the Merger, and other customary closing conditions; |
| |
• | the risk that if the proposed Merger is not completed, the market price of our common stock could decline, investor confidence could decline, stockholder litigation could be brought against us, relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners may be adversely impacted, and profitability may be adversely impacted due to costs incurred in connection with the proposed Merger; |
| |
• | the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances that require us to pay a termination fee and expenses in an amount up to $3.2 million |
| |
• | litigation relating to the proposed Merger and the costs related thereto; and |
| |
• | the incurrence of significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Merger. |
Failure to consummate the proposed Merger within the expected timeframe or at all could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that the proposed Merger be consummated. The consummation of the proposed Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, including (i) the affirmative vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, (ii) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) after the date of the Merger Agreement and (iii) other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that these and other conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all.
The Merger Agreement also provides that the Merger Agreement may be terminated by us or Parent under certain circumstances, and in certain specified circumstances upon termination of the Merger Agreement we may be required to pay a termination fee and expenses of up to $3.2 million. If we are required to make this payment, doing so may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that a remedy will be available to us in the event of a breach of the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or that we will wholly or partially recover for any damages incurred by us in connection with the proposed Merger. A failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us among our customers or in the investment community or business community generally. Further, any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our customers, partners, suppliers and employees, could continue or accelerate in the event of a failed transaction. In addition, if the proposed Merger is not completed, and there are no other parties willing and able to acquire the Company at a price of $3.00 per share or higher, on terms acceptable to us, the share price of our common stock will likely decline to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that the proposed Merger will be completed. Also, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Merger, for which we will have received little or no benefit if the proposed Merger is not completed. Many of these fees and costs will be payable by us even if the proposed Merger is not completed and may relate to activities that we would not have undertaken other than to complete the proposed Merger.
